this story is so bleak and it makes you wonder how many people in your life truly care about you. even so, there is a relatable feeling to this end of life story.

Much preferred the second Three Days Of Happiness volume to the first! I was looking for a shorter manga series to jump into and this was a solid choice. It’s very existential as it poses the question; if you could sell your life-span for a certain price, would you? Time and health can also be sold, but there are consequences.

Miyagi is a much more likeable character than the protagonist, Kusonoki, especially at the beginning. They connect in a deep way throughout the course of the story because they both feel a deep sense of loneliness.
Kusonoki is holding onto a childhood love called Himeno. A decade has passed since they were last together in person but he still holds onto that perceived connection. They had even said that if they hadn’t found anybody by the time they reached twenty years old, that they would be together. If they met again, would this happen now they are both adults?

These manga panels are a raw depiction of how it feels to suffer with depression. It’s very much about “burnt-out gifted kids” - if you have had to experience these feelings too, then I’m very sorry.
Interested to see how Three Days Of Happiness concludes in the third, and final, volume.

I know anger can fester, but I don't really understand why Himeno was that upset with Kusunoki...
